As rumours of door-to-door gun confiscations run wild on the internet, Connecticut gun owners who were law-abiding citizens on December 31, 2013, are now criminals under a new law banning so-called “assault weapons”. State officials continue to ratchet up the rhetoric about these heinous threats to public safety, while gun owners realize once again that Firearm Registration … [Read more...]
The Civilian Range Project – An Idea Whose Time Is NOW
Back in 2009, when we were fighting for the passage of Bill C-301, the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police came out in favour of the bill and against civilian gun owners. Many gun owners were displeased with that attitude of distrust for Canada’s most law-abiding citizens. We looked for a solution. After pondering what we could do about their antics a few innovative … [Read more...]
Is Nanaimo RCMP Sgt. Sheryl Armstrong a complete idiot?
Is Nanaimo RCMP Sgt. Sheryl Armstrong a complete idiot or just thoroughly ignorant of the laws she supposedly enforces? I honestly don’t know what else you can say about a so-called "police officer" who has absolutely no idea of what she speaks. I also can’t fathom how moronic [alleged] reporter Darrell Bellaart must be that he refused to do the most basic fact-checking … [Read more...]
RCMP Anti-Bullying Initiative is Ill-Timed and Thoroughly Misguided
While the RCMP promoted Pink Shirt Day as a way of stopping bullying in schools, the horsemen took to bullying some of Canada’s best and most law-abiding citizens: gun owners. In true hypocritical fashion, the Boys with the Yellow Stripes did precisely as they pleased and with zero regard for the people they bullied into criminals. RCMP Commissioner Robert Paulson’s … [Read more...]
Royal Canadian Mounted Police or Rogue Cops Making Policy?
After the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) arbitrarily manufactured over 13,000 “gun criminals” last week by reclassifying Swiss Arms and CZ 858 rifles from non-restricted to prohibited, Public Safety Minister Steven Blaney announced a 5-year amnesty protecting those formerly law-abiding gun owners from prosecution. Gun owners across the country are understandably … [Read more...]
The RCMP Hates Only One Thing More Than Firearms: Firearm Owners
The priorities of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) are screwed up. You may think tracking down child pornographers might be a bigger priority for RCMP investigators but I suspect you would be wrong. The RCMP seems far more intent on tracking down law-abiding gun owners and building files on them instead. In 2013 and 2013, for example, the RCMP spent $1 million on … [Read more...]
RCMP Swiss Arms Prohibition just the beginning
Well, our national police force has made another unilateral decision regarding the legal status of the Swiss Arms rifle. Generally referred to as a "green" or "black special", this rifle has been in the non-restricted category for well over a decade and has now been relegated to prohibited status. The rationale behind this reclassification and confiscation order is that, … [Read more...]
“In the Interest of Public Safety” High River Firearm Seizures are just the beginning
by Tim McNamara On 20 June 2013 the town of High River, Alberta, was inundated by one of the worst floods in a hundred years - homes were destroyed, bridges washed out, and the town was completely evacuated. Unfortunately for High River, the weather was not the only enemy the residents had to face. As the floodwaters began to recede, members of the RCMP, the … [Read more...]
Conservatives “Tough On Crime” Agenda – The trouble is not with that, but their definition of crime
Rob Sciuk, writing on the Canadian Firearms Digest recently, spelled out the problem we small-c conservatives have with the “Conservative-in-name-only” government currently running our nation. The Conservative Party of Canada ran another fundraising campaign in December with a goal of raising $2 million before the end of 2013. They targeted a lot of gun owners and former … [Read more...]
Detroit Chief of Police James Craig says guns in the hands of citizens is a good thing
Detroit Police Chief James Craig must really annoy the moronic police chiefs of places like Chicago, IL, and Washington, DC. Those yahoos insist that guns in the hands of we mere citizens is a terrifying and horrific thought despite mountains of evidence to the contrary. Chief Craig has first-had experience with an armed citizenry, however. He took over as Chief of Police … [Read more...]
